WHAT HAPPENED
We cruised to victory in the north London derby on Saturday with a 3-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.
Katie McCabe delivered a player of the match performance, scoring one and assisting another, while Vivianne Miedema hit a stunning contender for goal of the season.
We started strongly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and after Jordan Nobbs fired wide early on, Caitlin Foord gave us the lead in style.
The Australia international played a quick one-two with Noelle Maritz down the right wing, before arriving inside the area and finding the bottom corner.
Miedema then went on to double our advantage on the stroke of half-time - and in some style too. McCabe floated an inch-perfect corner delivery into penalty area and Miedema found the top corner with a stunning volley on her left foot.
McCabe wreaked havoc on Tottenham’s defence all afternoon, and shortly after the hour mark she grabbed her reward, racing in behind and coolly finishing into the bottom corner.
The hosts would go on to create a golden opportunity late on, but Manuela Zinsberger was on hand to deny Tottenham, not once, not twice, but three times in succession.
That outstanding triple save also created a little bit of history, as we secured four consecutive WSL victories without conceding.
